Our temps for the weekend look like they will be colder with only a high on Saturday -3 with the low of -9. Our Thursday will be a high of 5 with 50% snow showers. Friday will be a high of 17 with 70% snow showers. Sunday and Monday will be a bit warmer. We need all the snow we can get. It is snowing right now so lets hope we get a good amount. I will give you the full report tomorrow as to how much snow we get.

The Gogebic Range Trail Authority Groomers Report:
I have no official word from the trail boss today. He was in the groomer so I lost him on his cell. Hopefully I will get a full report for tomorrow.
All trails are in good condition. Trail 8 to Tula will be groomed tonight. Trail 2 to Marenisco is being groomed now and trail 2 from Ironwood was groomed Sunday. Trail 11N will be groomed tomorrow. Watch for the detour around a large water hole. Trail 160 was groomed Sunday. Trail 11S is closed due to logging this winter.

Lake Gogebic Groomer’s Report:
All trails are in good to very good condition with the temperatures we’ve had over the last few days. What we do need is more snow. Our groomers continue to groom each trail each day. There is a short re-route on 13S due to logging. The groomer completed that route today but the snow is low in that area. The logging on 13N is finished according to the groomer driver.
VERY IMPORTANT: Watch for the reroute where trails 1, 102 and 8 West meet, north of Merriweather going west for about 5 miles. Watch for changes and signs. YOU CANNOT USE THIS AREA FOR ANY RIDING. This reroute will continue to the end of the season. You may also want to top off your gas if headed north through this area as the reroute will add an extra ten miles (there and back) to your trip with no gas stops between Lake Gogebic and Konteka.

The Watersmeet Groomer’s report:
Our groomers are running daily and trails are all groomed. All trails are in good condition but use caution on corners they are icy. We need more snow.
Please follow the orange barrels and stay on trail going across Cisco Chain.

Please remember groomers are out both day and night, so watch for them, please pull over or at least slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by whenever you see them. Groomers have the right of way.

JUST ONE MORE REMINDER: PLEASE STAY ON MARKED TRAILS. RIDING ON UNMARKED TRAILS CAN RESULT IN THE CLUBS LOSING EASEMENT FOR THAT TRAIL AND IT CAN ALSO RESULT IN A POSSIBLE TICKET FOR YOU.
